-----------------------------------
[~kupferk], I am sorry, but could you please let me know which {{sqoop}} script
you are talking about. I cannot find any script contains SQOOP_JARS definition.
Thanks!
> sqoop start script looks for jars in wrong order
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SQOOP-2194
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-2194
> Project: Sqoop
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: tools
> Affects Versions: 1.4.5
> Environment: Linux
> Reporter: Kaya Kupferschmidt
>
> The sqoop start script allows the user to include custom jar's by placing
> them into the folder "/var/lib/sqoop". In addition to that location, the
> script also looks into the folder "/usr/share/java". Technically this is
> performed by the line
> SQOOP_JARS=`ls /var/lib/sqoop/.jar /usr/share/java/.jar 2>/dev/null`
> in the ssqoop start script. This seems to allow to store sqoop-specific
> versions of jar files in "/var/lib/sqoop" which would override versions of
> similar jars in "/usr/share/java". For example (this was our use case), this
> allows to store a more up-to-date version of the java-mysql-connector in
> /var/lib/sqoop while the system provided version still remains in
> /usr/share/java.
> Unfortunetaly this doesn't work as expected, because the "ls" command will
> sort its result by name. So all files in "/usr/share/java" are sorted in
> front of the files in "/var/lib/sqoop". An easy fix for the situation is to
> turn off the sorting by adding the option "-U" to ls:
> SQOOP_JARS=`ls -U /var/lib/sqoop/.jar /usr/share/java/.jar 2>/dev/null`
> I guess the behaviour with this modification reflects the original idea
> behind that line.
